If you need to display the parameter it would be like this
"For Dates Between "+ ToText(Minimum({?Date ( Date )}),"yyyy/M/d")" and "ToText(Maximum({? Date ( Date )}),"yyyy/M/d")

Date Field in Hierarchical ALV

Hello Friends,
I have a few fields in my Hierarchical ALV output which are initially hidden.
When I choose to display these fields by changing the Layout the date fields come out in the form
MMDDYYYY
I need those fields as
MM/DD/YYYY
The date fields which are NOT hidden initially are in the format MM/DD/YYYY. No problem there.
When I go to settings and choose column width optimize I am then able to see these date fields as MM/DD/YYYY.
In My code I already set this col width to optimize. It is also working . But for fields which are hidden initially I have to explicitly set the width optimize again .
This problem is not there in GRID ALV.
Why is the HIER ALV not putting the date fields in MM/DD/YYYY format.

Just pass the Edit option of the fieldcatalog for those specific fields...

Modify form field properties

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7df8.w.h tml

This is not easily scripted as yo need to provide the exact date pattern you want to use.
You can run the following script through your JavaScript console in Acrobat,. You will need to modify the field names and date format as needed to meet your needs.
// define an array of fields to change
var aFields = new Array("Text1", "Text2", "Text3", "Textn");
// define a character string for the date format
var cDateFormat = "dd-mmm-yyyy";
// define a field object to be used for setting the date format
var oField;
// loop through the field names and add the date format
for(i = 0; i < aFields.length; i++) {
// get the field object for i element in aFields
oField = this.getField(aFields[i]);
// set the date format
oField.setAction("Format", AFDate_FormatEx( cDateFormat));
// end loop field names - get next field name for processing

There are other tools and methods to make forms besides the form Wizard. Most of us avoid it for most forms.

Want to break down a date into 4 lines in one field

Hi all,
In report 10g , when a date value mask is like 'DY. MON. DD,YYYY' in a field,
it will be display whole date 'Mon. Apr.14,2008' in one line
but in the report i want it shows like below in one field (break in every word, four lines) because the filed honrizontal width is limited
Mon.
Apr.
14,
2008
how can i reach this in format trigger, i already use srw.set_value(0, to_char(sysdate))
but doesn't work.
Thanks for your help!
appcat

Try this
select to_char(hiredate, 'Dy.') || chr(10) || to_char(hiredate, 'Mon.') || chr(10) || to_char(hiredate, 'dd,') || chr(10) || to_char(hiredate, 'yyyy') cdate
from emp
It was just an example. Use chr(10) for carriage return, whereever it is needed.

TFS SSRS bug age report

Hello,
I want to create pie chart report which will display bug counts according to their age i.e. within last month, 1-3 month old and 3+ month ago.
I have got dataset (TFS2010Olap as data source) which is displaying 2 columns, System_CreatedDate and WorkItem_count. I want to create group expression at chart level so it categories
source data and display on chart accordingly.
I am using this expression in categoryGroup of pie chart:
=iif(CDate(Fields!System_CreatedDate.Value) > DateAdd("m", -1, now), "Within Previous Month", iif(CDate(Fields!System_CreatedDate.Value) > DateAdd("m", -3, now), "1-3 Months Old", "3+ Months Old"))
but I am getting error: Conversion from string "22/01/2012" to type "Date" is not valid. I tried to do with function
"DateDiff" but getting same error. Please let me know what I am missing or wrong in the expression? I had a look at MSDN post with title "SSRS
Report to calculate Bug Age" but getting this date conversion problem.
I tried to format date as well but getting format error again:
=iif(cdate(format((Fields!System_CreatedDate.Value),"dd/MM/yyyy")) > format(DateAdd("m", -1, now),"dd/MM/yyyy"), "Within Previous Month",
iif(cdate(format((Fields!System_CreatedDate.Value),"dd/MM/yyyy")) > format(DateAdd("m", -3, now),"dd/MM/yyyy"), "1-3 Months Old", "3+ Months Old"))

Hi gajeshm,
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by the format of the
System_CreatedDate which is "dd/MM/yyyy" and not supportted as the date type in the report but instead of string type. You need to convert this field to the string format "MM/dd/yyyy" and then using the CDate()
function to change it the Date type (because the format "dd/MM/yyyy" which is not support to use directly in the CDate() function, so we need to change it to "MM/dd/yyyy" using the split() function and this format will support to use in
the CDate() function).
Details information below for your reference:
Right click the dateset to add calculated field(NewSystem_CreateDate) and use expression as below, this calculated field will display the NewSystem_CreateDate which is the datetype and format is "MM/dd/yyyy":
=Cdate(split(Fields!System_CreatedDate.Value,"/")(1) &"/"& split(Fields!System_CreatedDate1.Value,"/")(0)&"/"&split(Fields!System_CreatedDate.Value,"/")(2))
Modify the first expression you have provided and change the "System_CreatedDate" to the Calculated field "System_CreatedDate":
=iif(Fields!NewSystem_CreatedDate.Value> DateAdd("m", -1, now), "Within Previous Month", iif(Fields!NewSystem_CreatedDate.Value > DateAdd("m", -3, now), "1-3 Months Old", "3+ Months Old"))

How to dynamically assign Display Pattern using FormCalc in Adobe PDF Form

I am using Adobe PDF Form Designer. I am trying to dynamically assign a display pattern like MM/DD/YYYY to the Field tab - Display Pattern property. May I know how to do that?
I am using FormCalc scripting.

hi,
After placing the date field in layout from data view, u will get tabs like field,layout,border etc..
In field tab under the edit pattern specify the pattern in which you want to display the date field.
hope this works.

SQL Query Posting the Data Properly but Generating An Error

I've created a SQL query to update records in a database. While testing I used an Access database and it worked perfectly. To go into production I've moved the data to SQLServer 2005 installed on my xMII server. The SQL syntax is different for handling dates between the two databases so I modified my queries accordingly. I now have:
UPDATE ControlLimits SET Metric_ID='[Param.1]', CDate='[Param.2]', LCL=[Param.3], Mean=[Param.4], UCL=[Param.5]
Where (Metric_ID='[Param.1]' and CDate = '[Param.2]')
CDate is my date field being passed in the format 'mm/dd/yyyy', the table field is formatted for datetime - the same as in Access.
When running this query (with the [Param.x]'s being replaced with actual values)through SQL Server Management Studio on the xMII server, it works just fine. When run as a query template, the data is posted properly to the table but the template returns a 'A SQL Error has occurred on query, The statement did not return a result set..'
Any ideas?
David

Udayan,
You are absolutely correct! When I did it in Access I was correctly using the Command mode. When I moved to the SQL Server data source in my query template, I picked the Fixed Query mode by mistake.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
In SAP all date fieldsa re stored in YYYYMMDD format only
You can assign the same date to that field or assign SY-DATUM to that field
You can convert the format using EDIT MASK
or split the date,month and year and concatenate and can use

Hi Chellama,
although this thread is already passed, you might be interested in understanding the use of an ALIAS in open SQL clauses:
You can use the AS clause to define a new name (alias) for a fieldname or table name.
Use select a b c as d into corresponding fields of destination if you want the values of fields a and b to be moved to fields a and b of the destination structure but the value of field c to go to field d of destination structure.
For table names it is the same logic. Yor sample code
select a~ xxxx
a~key1
b~key1
b~yyyy
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE int_tab
FROM a AS db_tab1 INNER JOIN b AS db_tab2
ON a~key1 = b~key1
is syntactically wrong because you defined the alias db_tab1for table a and db_tab2 for table b. Now the fields akey1 and so on are unknown, you could use only db_tab1key1 etc.
In Join conditions, you will almost never need an alias clause. Corrected code is
select a~xxxx
a~key1
b~key1
b~yyyy
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE int_tab
FROM a
INNER JOIN b
ON a~key1 = b~key1
This is much more transparent for the one who has to read and understand the code.

Migration Issues from Informix to Oracle (datetime format)

Hello, i am performing a Migration from Informix to Oracle, drive by Migration Workbench, i have an error migrating data from datetime and date fields. I suppose its related by datetime and date format, cause the error tells "Incorrect day or month" when i am migrating data from informix. Targets Oracle database date format is DD/MM/YYYY and source`s Informix database date format like MM/DD/YYYY. Is there any way, in OMW, to specify the mask of datetime or date format to convert date strings from informix to oracle format? Or have i got migrate offline and modify control file to do that with sql*loader?
How can i do that?
Example, especify to_date('....', 'MM/DD/YYYY H24:MI:SS') format for migrating informix datetime fields to Oracle.

The problem i have is, several tables witch contains date and datetime fields, at the same table in informix, by migrating drive by omwb to oracle, the date format i receive from informix at reading is DD/MM/YYYY and datetime format receiving is HH24:MI:SS. Migrating date and datetime types from informix to date, both types to date in oracle, i get an error while matching DD = HH24, MM = MI and YYYY = SS where nls_date_format is DD/MM/YYYY and, the same error matching HH24 = DD, MI = MM and SS = YYYY when nls_date_format is HH24:MI:SS.
If i set nls_date_format as "DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS" i get the same error, cause reading data from informix results in data format "DD/MM/YYYY" for date fields and "HH24:MI:SS" for datetime fields.
I have more than 200 tables in informix with this problem to migrate to oracle, i can solve by migrating offline, modifying datacontrol file to casting to_date format, but over 200 tables, 200 datacontrol files... is there any way for solving that by online migration in omwb?

BIP & trying to auto-set the current date for a parameter

I'm trying to allow for a date selector as a parameter for one of my reports. This is BIP 11.1.1.5.
I've set up a field for the parameter and can pass it into the report but want to see if I can auto-fill this field with today's date, and then set the Date From to today and the Date To to 3 days from now. Is this possible? Is there a way to do something like "format-date:sysdate('MM/dd/YYYY');" in these fields? I've attached an image of my fields in my Data Model.
My image - http://goo.gl/mcXS7
Thanks.
Edited by: thejame on Jun 7, 2011 9:38 AM

Thank You! I came across this before but never saw you have to use the {$ to get to the value.
{$SYSDATE()$} gets me today's date.
So can I use these in the BIP's Query Builder or other areas where I want to populate fields?
Example: I want to use it in the actual report's parameters but it just comes across as "{$SYSDATE()$}"
